Hi, if no-one near you volunteers, go to the nearest tv/radio repair shop with that pdf. It has all the component values and layout plan, piece of cake for a pro to make them!
Speaker layout is old-fashioned and far from optimal by today's standards, but xo looks pretty good, there is lots of knowhow behind it.

Peterma, you don't say what your problem building them is. Is it finding parts, reading the schematic, soldering?
Some assume expensive. The coils beside the drivers are high resistance. This can mean cheap, even a spool of cheap thin hookup wire might do the job
. The caps don't have to be polys, electrolytics can sound very good. The L-pads can be replaced with resistors.
What parts d you have lying around that might be useful.

Peter, where in Sydney are you?
I have some L pads you can have, but as Allen says, it's better to replace them with fixed resistors.
there's a couple of hundred dollars worth of parts in that crossover, even using cheap ones for the high resistance inductors. Good parts can be sourced from Speakerbug

Wind your own coils?
Perhaps we can assist in doing your own coils. I am positive that with help of a coil calculator, we can predict diameter and inductance within a couple of percent from the original value. If there were any issues finding right magnet wire for the higher dcr inductors, adding a resistor in series would solve it.
How much does awg 18 and awg 27 magnet wire cost in Australia?
